Core

  • Pass
    Reachable

    Latest probe returned HTTP 200 in 262 ms.

  • Pass
    Valid handshake

    protocolVersion 2024-11-05, serverInfo.name apex-web.

  • Pass
    Lists tools

    tools/list returned 3 tools.

  • Fail
    Current protocol

    Negotiated 2024-11-05. The bar is 2025-06-18 or newer.

  • Pass
    HTTPS

    The endpoint URL is https.

Performance

  • Not measured
    Fast (p50)

    Median latency 262 ms over 1 samples in 7 days. The bar is 1000 ms. Need at least 5 samples.

  • Not measured
    Consistent (p95)

    95th percentile 262 ms over 1 samples in 7 days. The bar is 3000 ms. Need at least 20 samples.

  • Not measured
    Reliable (uptime)

    1 of 1 attempts returned a tool list in 30 days (100%). The bar is 99%. Need at least 30 samples.

  • Not measured
    Stable tool list

    Fewer than two successful probes in 30 days, so tool-list stability is not measured.

Access

  • Pass
    Open access

    tools/list succeeded with no credential, and the record declares none.

  • Not measured
    Standard auth

    Auth is not required, so the OAuth metadata check does not apply.

  • Not measured
    Free tier cited

    No publisher quote has been checked.

Tools

  • Pass
    Tools described

    Every tool description is at least 20 characters.

  • Pass
    Valid input schemas

    Every inputSchema is a JSON Schema object.

  • Pass
    Parameters documented

    9 of 9 parameters have a description (100%). The bar is 80%.

  • Pass
    Safety hints

    Every tool sets readOnlyHint or destructiveHint.

Publisher

  • Pass
    Verified namespace

    Listed in the Official MCP Registry.

  • Fail
    Website matches publisher

    The website host does not match the reverse-domain namespace.

  • Fail
    Source repo linked

    No repository URL is on file.

  • Not measured
    Repo owner matches

    This namespace is not an io.github login, so the owner comparison does not apply.

  • Pass
    Recently updated

    Updated 2026-10-08T10:22:39.290433Z, within 180 days.

  • Not measured

Capabilities

Tools 3

page_extract

Render any public web page in a real headless Chrome and return its text. JavaScript runs first, so docs sites and single-page apps that a plain fetch returns empty come back complete. $0.009 per call (x402 on Arc/Base/Solana/X1): the full text and every outbound link. Without a payment the call returns the price and every rail we accept. Refuses private and reserved addresses and our own hosts, so it cannot be used as a proxy into a network. Sites that put a bot wall in front of their pages (Cloudflare, DataDome and the like) answer with a challenge rather than the page: the call then FAILS with `http-403` or `bot-challenge` and says so, rather than charging you for a spinner.

Discovered
site_extract

Render a whole section of a site - up to 25 pages - in one call and get every page back as clean text, with JavaScript executed. Same host only; robots.txt is obeyed and anything it disallows is skipped and named. FREE: the crawl PLAN - exactly which pages would be fetched and what robots.txt allows - so you can see what you would get before paying. PAID ($0.14, x402 on Arc/Base/Solana/X1): every page rendered and returned. It costs more than one page because it is up to 25 real browser renders, not a lookup. If a bot wall on the site lets the first page through but blocks the rest, the call fails with `poor-yield` and names every page it could not render, instead of billing you for a list of failures.

Discovered
web_read

Read up to 10 web pages as clean text in one call: title, description and readable body, with the final URL. A plain fetch (no JavaScript); for a rendered page use page_extract. $0.003 per call over x402 (USDC on Arc, Base or Solana, or XNT on X1). Call once without `payment` for the terms, sign them with your own wallet, call again with `payment`.
